Since no one else seems to be answering I'll give it a whirl.<br>
It's been my impression that Tung Oil will only shine up so <br>
much and you can't really get a gloss finish. If that's what you<br>
have been trying for I don't think you'll get there. Sorry.<br>

I carved a stylized roadrunner out of redwood. I have put 5 coats of tong oil and sanded after each coat with 600 grit paper. I can't seem to get a luster or shine on it. After the last coat I hand buffed it and still no deep luster or shine. This is the 1st time i've used tung oil. What am i doing wrong or am I expecting to much.
thanks for the help
Charley
